About the Speakers

Panos Panay is the founding managing director of Berklee ICE (Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship), as well as a passionate entrepreneur and active startup mentor in the creative media space. As the founder of Sonicbids, he created the leading platform for bands to book gigs and market themselves online, building a subscriber network of 550,000 bands and 35,000 promoters from over 100 countries. He led the company as CEO for 13 years, from its inception until after its successful acquisition by Backstage LLC, in a deal backed by Guggenheim Partners.

Panay is widely credited for spotting and capitalizing early on three distinct emerging trends in the music business over the last decade: the shift to a primarily online means of marketing; the emergence of an “artistic middle class;” and the shift from a record-label funded industry to a consumer brand-funded music business.

He writes weekly about startups and entrepreneurship for blogs and publications such as The Huffington Post, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Accelerators and Fast Company; and guest lectures at universities including MIT, Boston University, Brown University, and Bentley College. He speaks often at industry events like SXSW, MIDEM and CMJ. As a passionate arts and business advocate, Panay serves on a number of boards including being the chair of Berklee College of Music’s Presidential Advisory Council for six years. He is a die-hard supporter of the English football club Arsenal F.C.

Awards include: Fast Company’s Fast 50 honor; Inc Magazine’s Inc 500; Mass Hi-Tech All Stars; Berklee College’s Distinguished Alumnus Award; and The Boston Business Journal’s “40 under 40.” Sonicbids and Panay were also profiled in a chapter in the Financial Times-published book Outsmart by best-selling author Jim Champy. Panay is a native of Cyprus, holds a Music Business & Management degree from Berklee College of Music, and lives with his wife Kimberly in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Casey Rae is the vice president for policy and education at the Future of Music Coalition. He is also a musician, recording engineer, educator and journalist. Rae regularly speaks on issues such as emerging business models, creators' rights, technology policy and intellectual property at major conferences, universities and in the media. He has testified before Congress on artist issues and routinely engages leaders in the music, cultural and technology sectors to build bridges and bolster engagement in key policy conversations. Rae has written dozens of articles on the impact of technology on the creative community in scholarly journals and

other publications, and is a regular commentator on the impact of technology on creators in media outlets such as NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, Billboard, The Los Angeles Times, Gizmodo, The Hill, Ars Technica, Sirius XM Radio, and more. Casey is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, and also serves on the board of directors of the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture. He is the principal of Heru.us, a media, technology and policy consultancy. In his "spare time," he runs the DC-based label Lux Eterna Records and publishes The Contrarian Media.

David Dufresne is the CEO of Bandzoogle, the most powerful platform for musicians to build their website, engage their fans, and sell their music and merchandise directly. Bandzoogle works with tens of thousands of bands and musicians to help them create a strong base for their online strategy. Dufresne's background is in the Canadian venture capital industry, where he worked at firms investing in web, mobile, enterprise software and video game startups. He’s an obsessive music fan, occasional DJ, hall-of-fame soccer player, and dad of two young daughters.

As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music's Valencia campus, Emilien Moyon teaches Business Model Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy. He holds a PhD in Strategic Management and his research focuses on the business model innovation process. Moyon's academic work has been published in top academic journals, such as International Studies of Management and Organization, and Management International.

Concerts from the Library of Congress

The Coolidge Auditorium, constructed in 1925 through a generous gift from Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, has been the venue for countless world-class performers and performances. Gertrude Clarke Whittall presented to the Library a gift of five Stradivari instruments which were first heard here during a concert on January 10, 1936. These parallel but separate donations serve as the pillars that now support a full season of concerts made possible by gift trusts and foundations that followed those established by Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Whittall.
